Companies that do fire damage furniture insurance claims are likely candidates to have one. In my area, you can stick a piano in one of these places overnight for about $30. > .- John, I took a class at the Philadelphia convention about flood- and fire-damaged pianos and the instructor strongly cautioned against putting pianos in ozone rooms (for the purpose of smoke odor removal). I remember him saying that smoke odor can be reduced but *not* eliminated, despite reports to the contrary. He did not talk about cigaret smoke specifically or about what affect ozone has on glue joints, felt, etc. but this is sounding a little like drying your wet dog in the microwave. Just looked in my convention notes and the instructor's name is Tom Patten, Great Susquehanna Piano Co., Milton, PA if you wanted to query him. Cheers, Tom -- Thomas A. Cole RPT Santa Cruz, CA
